Astro Academy: Principia - circular motion
This collection of videos show ESA Astronaut, Tim Peake, on the International Space Station, demonstrating circular motion. In this free-fall environment, Tim can demonstrate how objects move in a circular path without the observed effects of gravitational acceleration with similar experiments performed in the classroom. The resources also contain videos where the motion has been tracked using free online software, called Tracker. The Tracker files are also provided as part of the resources.

Circular motion: two balls in circular track (air resistance)
This video from the International Space Station (ISS), shows two balls moving on a circular track, at first the video is sped up but then plays in real time. The small ball catches up on the large ball because of the larger air resistance on the large ball. The large ball eventually leaves the track because of...
